But it's one of the lowest scores I have given to a blended whisky so I basically agree with you. I found the nose to be slightly better than most of its peers though.

I was raised in Scotland and me mother was a Wallace. This "Scotch" only cost $8.99. What would one expect?! To say that one tastes or smells fruit or nuts is speaking out of their arse.

The older versions are said to be much better so I believe it's a lack of good casks (or the unwillingness to pay high prices for them).

It's true that the better Irish can beat some of the average Scotch standard NAS malts, especially the Travel Retail stuff. <br />Cheers!🥃<br />JanJan van den Endehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079017013123231409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653172298289839904.post-66015977912299079932024-02-07T15:14:34.056-03:002024-02-07T15:14:34.056-03:00Hi Jan, I'm trying Irish for the first time wi...Hi Jan, I'm trying Irish for the first time with Black Bush and Redbreast 12. I enjoyed both and think they are underrated compared with Scotch. I agree with your review on the nose part and I found that the taste and finish are really fine and balanced though the ABV is not so promising (In no doubt, Redbreast 12 is better and it needs some time for BB to let the grain alcohol and metallic note go away). They are better options compared to higher priced young NAS single malts.Pyae Phyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494928358606233341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653172298289839904.post-91272598008473134452024-02-05T10:25:54.289-03:002024-02-05T10:25:54.289-03:00Hi there, thanks for commenting.

As most readers can't understand russian let me give a rough translation of the comment above. The poster tells us he drank this Blend 7 years ago together with his wife. They both enjoyed it and had no unpleasant side effects the next morning. They recommend the Old Keeper. I'm glad they liked it but I don't share their opinion. It is quite cheap but that's the only positive thing I can think of when remembering drinking this Blend.<br />Cheers! 🥃 <br />JanJan van den Endehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079017013123231409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653172298289839904.post-10757512178803115762024-02-04T11:24:44.081-03:002024-02-04T11:24:44.081-03:00Пили вместе с женой, 7 лет назад, потрясающий вкус...Пили вместе с женой, 7 лет назад, потрясающий вкус, послевкусие, аромат.

Best wishes and I am looking forward to the next 1.000....<br /><br />And, you chose a dram which is worthy for the 1.000th review, and still remain honest and direct, cleary stating that you expected more and were a bit dissapointing not getting overwhelmed neither by the 1.000 nor by tasting such a rarity (but this makes expectations even higher)! At least from my point of view this is exactly why your regular readers love your reviews. As Ingvar Ronde pointed out.<br /><br />All the best and enjoy the start of the Christmas season.<br /><br />Best regards<br />BjörnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653172298289839904.post-65366196150948937742023-12-01T08:15:21.564-03:002023-12-01T08:15:21.564-03:00Thanks for your reaction and kind words Ken.
